Ok, let's find some Antibiotics than:

Isaint changes the configuration on his commlink:
Agent 6 (Susi) + Browse + Ticker App
Change Grid from Public to London Net
Also, the Agent Cluster will do a teamwork check for Susi:
Matrix Search Teamwork: 6d6t5 3 [6d6t5=5, 1, 1, 6, 3, 5]
Matrix Search Teamwork: 6d6t5 4 [6d6t5=5, 6, 1, 5, 4, 6]
Matrix Search Teamwork: 6d6t5 2 [6d6t5=2, 6, 2, 3, 5, 3]
Matrix Search Teamwork: 6d6t5 3 [6d6t5=2, 6, 4, 5, 6, 1]
+4 to Limit and +6 to Susi Dice pool:
Matrix Search: 18d6t5 8[18d6t5=3, 3, 6, 1, 6, 5, 4, 6, 1, 4, 5, 1, 3, 4, 6, 2, 6, 6]

Query: Which Pharmacy or Pharma Warehouse in London has the super antibiotics in stock:
Depending on how hidden the information is, I'd assume the worst:
-2 for Obscure (Reducing successes to 6)
Limited Interest/Not Publicized Threshold 3
Browse and Ticker quarter the base time of 30 minutes to 7,5 and 3 successes above make it 1/8 of that: So the search takes a bit under a minute to complete (or double that if you don't allow Browse and Ticker to stack)

So that I don't pre-empt anything through fog of pbp...can I assume you are going to the safehouse first for at least as long as it takes to catalogue the place and then prep whatever larcenous business you have with antibiotics storage facilities...?

I'm now working on the guesstimate timeframes that your initial exposure to FAB took place around 1am so you have until lunchtime before you really start heaving.  It's now about 5am ish (dawn)...assuming that sounds ok with you all?  Keep the 'feeling sick' RP going, it just doesn't have any game effects for another few hours!

[Jack_Spade]

As far as I remember it, it went like this:

We were exposed between Underplex and Below
Made a short stop in Below, fixing and hiding the FAB, meeting mages for a disinfection
Met the Harlequinade to take us to the exit
Met Karasu
Made out way through the containment zone back to the bar
Used the scanner, talked to winter, decided to evacuate
Went to Isaint's self storage - rigged the bomb for the statue
Went to the cemetery to deploy statue
Went to safehouse, checked it and decided on next steps, started search for medicine

[Aria]

4 hours sounds about right for that little lot!  More or less... 

[Aria]

@CoF: Ok, you have a location of a medical warehouse - it will be pretty secure so no milk run - I'm happy for you to find a suitable Google Maps location and I will add it to the master map.  Over the weekend feel free to plan your approach and any other event planning...just don't leave the safehouse (yet)      ...you can establish details of the security, it will be a private security provider, more focused on matrix and physical security than astral.

The mages have also agreed to help you but aren't willing to come topside to do so.  Below does extend out into West London but it will take them a little time to get close to you... couple of hours or so... time's ticking!

[Jack_Spade]

I allowed myself to fill in the blanks.

Can we assume, that most of our electronic gear will be rebooting right now?
The pulse spell is horribly vague on what it actually does.

[adamu]

Yikes!

Well, away from books until about eight hours from now...best I can do right now would be a quick role-playing post, if that.

Not familiar with the Pulse spell or any of the numbers involved.  I assume we did not resist...
Does it affect cyber?
Am I blind?
If so, how long does this reboot thing take?

As for blasting the wall, i specified a pull detonator. Nothing electronic - pull, break the circuit, boom. Don't even need to be able to see, as the blast is tamped outward.
If we can assume people start shooting at Isaint, then that's the signal right there and Al will blow the thing...

I guess I can get an IC up right away if someone can let me know if I'm blind or not....

[Jack_Spade]

Reboot will take at least a full 3 seconds (restart happens at the end of the next round)

Even better. Low-tech solutions for the win

[Mercy Merchant]

Yikes indeed.  What is it about you guys and safe houses?  Are you cursed or something?  But now I have another problem.  Since I went to Windows 10 I have not been able to use the color feature and now I realize I do not have the Spoiler capability, either.  Any ideas on what to do to fix these issues?

Resist for Electronics:  Resist for Electronics: 9d6t5 3

Resist for 'Links and Deck:  Resist for 'Links and Deck: 16d6t5 7

What was the target number we needed to not be affected?

So I assume it affects cyber?
So yes I'm blind?

What is the resist for cyber - does that go with the nine for electronics?
Do we have a threshold for the tech to still be functional?
Clearly I need to get to my books....

Have you tried another browser? Chrome or Opera are usually working well
Until then you can just copy those formats:
[ spoiler][/spoiler]
[ color=red][/color]
Just exchange "red" for the color you want and remove the space after the first bracket.



Aria didn't post the target number, but I hope it wasn't much above 3 - otherwise this will be a lot of matrix damage to undo.
Al's eyes shouldn't be affected - cyberware generally is considered hardened against EM-pulse. But of course this is entirely within the discretion of the GM, due to the vague spell description.

Thanks for that answer. I'll go with that, and if this is a special pulse, I can edit something in later.
If my cyber is okay, there's precious little else electronic that Al relies on, so i'll post something now, then figure out what a 5 background count does to me later (does it just reduce your magic rating straight across? in which case i won't have any magic at all - cool!).

[Jack_Spade]

Nope, where ever you have a dice bonus from magic you suffer a -5 dice pool penalty.
This leaves Ini intact but reduces defense if you have Combat Sense active (which is the reason Isaint didn't call up attribute boosts but instead relies on focused concentration and adept centering)

[Aria]

Can we assume, that most of our electronic gear will be rebooting right now?
The pulse spell is horribly vague on what it actually does.

RFID tags etc are fried by the pulse, other electronics will reboot with some minor damage, looks like 'links and decks are fine so far, they will have bad reception briefly. Cyber is hardened as mentioned...

Jack, your pistol shot, you getting rid of range penalties with centering?!?
